D&D Class help.

Hi, I'm looking for a class for my D&D 3.5 character, I would like the class to have healing spells and combat skills, paladin could be an idea, but if you know any other classes that have the two things I am looking for (Not classes in PHB), can you please tell me and send my a link to where I can see their stats and level development, Thank you.

A front line combatant with healing? Cleric, easily. I'm not entirely certain as to how the Crusader's healing works, but if you were looking at Paladin, Crusader should give you what you'd like. In the very least, you can heal yourself.

Crusader is from Tome of Battle. Which, due to certain rules, I can't post full information about. Cleric is in the srd, which has already been linked.

Sorry, I forgot to mention no classes in the PHB, I will look into crusader.

The Crusader lacks meaningful healing of others. That said, multiclassing is always an option, and a Crusader/Favored Soul could manage well.

[HyperionWolf]

Dunno, Maybe Favored Soul or Spirit Shaman? They are spontaneous Casters, and with proper feats can be nice at melee combat.

Shaman (Oriental Adventures)
Spirit Shaman (Complete Divine)
Shugenja (Complete Divine)
Favored Soul (Complete Divine)
Archivist (Heroes of Horror)

One of those maybe?

I've been having heaps of fun with the Pathfinder Artificer (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-classes/adamant-entertainment/artificer).

It can make gizmos to do pretty much anything. That might make some balance issues, if you're a jerk about it, but it can also be heaps of fun.

In my campaign, my goblin artificer built a jack-in-the box that springs up, coughs out a spider swarm, and turns my character into a fast-healing spider.

It takes a couple tweaks to fit into the 3e skill system, but trading the advanced and greater Jack of All Trades abilities for something like Bardic Knack (1/2 level in virtual skill ranks in untrained skills) should work well enough.

Alternatively, the Eberron Artificer already works in the system, but in my experience, its crafting dependence and long infusion casting times make it PC-unfriendly.
